And here’s where I share my true fear. That trump will be re-elected in 2020, because if Congress doesn’t go blue, there will be no check on trump, and his support will grow as people will believe the witchhunt spin, because they’re stupid. The democrats will be busy fighting and won’t put up a charismatic candidate.

Get a load of this: Cohen’s financial records from the Treasury database were leaked by an official who became concerned that other, much more alarming reports appeared to have been wiped from the records.

It’s an indelible image for a lot of GenX.

Nancy Drew looks chunky here.

An open letter to Jocelyn, from someone whose been there:

This. I’m honestly surprised by how many people can’t seem to get their heads around the idea that people’s (particularly white people’s!) politics can change enormously over the course of 20 years even without mental illness being present. I know people have strong attachments to fictional characters and get…

Exactamundo. Part of Kellyanne’s three-step is to say “Well, I don’t have that information.”

Also, condolences on your loss. If it’s any consolation, there are a hell of a lot of us working as hard as we damn well can to make sure it stops being a death sentence ASA-Frickin-P.

My dad died from glioblastoma last year. It is a very bad end. Very bad. I don’t care for McCain’s politics nor have I agreed with much that he’s done during Trump’s administration, but I don’t wish this on him at all. What he and his family are about to go through is truly, truly horrible.

While I certainly do not particularly appreciate him on a political level, and have mighty conflicted feelings toward him on a human level, I truly wouldn’t wish glioblastoma on my worst enemy. Between that and bone cancer, I’d rank it in the absolute peak of worst ways to semi-naturally pass, and living with it (as…

I agree with approximately zero of this man’s policies. I thought his inflicting Sarah Palin on all of us was one of the worst political blunders of the last fifty years. I vigorously campaigned against him, and would do so still. But now that we have seen the depths of GOP hypocrisy, and the absolute vacuum of…

Your kid committed what sounds like a property crime, probably some sort of vandalism. It happens. Either accept the consequences or hire a lawyer and try to prevent him being punished. Since no one is bringing charges I imagine that your kid is white and that no one wants to destroy the life of a promising young man,…

I know they’ve pegged the beginning of life to the moment of conception, but do Mike Pence and his ilk have an equivalent milestone for when they stop giving a fuck? Crowning?

Ima get a little philosophical here. This is where Williams/ Nagel’s moral luck idea comes into play: an action isn’t good or bad until later, when further context clarifies its goodness or badness. If Trump had lost the elctions, this hair fluffing moment would have been a meaningless, goofy memory, but, because…

did you know that jokes sometimes aren’t based in reality? like, which chicken are we talking about, which road? what was on the other side? I like how offended you were that I called you bro. bro.

This.

Thank you. I found this article totally stupid.

I do find this article confusing for the very reason you point out. There are good points that should be made and voices that should be amplified, but the uncritical first person and family accounts of what seems to be a fairly privileged position of whiteness really weaken her position to be taking a stance against…

This is the thread the post deserves.

It takes me weeks back in Brooklyn to recover.
